Thrall: Harp

 I continued on the harp today. All I have left to do here is the gold bits and gems. One more session, I hope.

Thrall: Harp

Finished off the bone and sinew parts of the harp and got a base coat on the parts that are going to be metallic. Well, most of them, the decoration will be gold. I think another two sessions will do it. Looking forward to being done with them. I like how they are coming along but am eager to move on to the rest of the pair.

Thrall: Harp Bone & Sinew

I got back to the thrall today. I got  a base coat on the harp strings and the parts of the frame that I'm picturing as being formed out of that poor person's bone. Didn't get much father because before that I put primer on the next Arena Rex figure I'm going to work on. In the process of priming it, I noticed it had some spots where gap filling is needed, and apparently I didn't do it when I put her together. Sigh. Anyway, I'll get pictures of that one soon.

5!

 Finished Hagal today.

Hagal: Leather, Base

Found more(!) leather straps on Hagal. Painted them, shaded and highlighted all the straps. Then I did his base. He's mostly there. I need to fix the sword where I got brown paint on it, and then finish and attach his shield, and he's done.

Hagal: Shading Leather

 Shaded most of those leather straps on Hagal, except the ones on his axe handle because I'd forgotten to base coat them before. :p

I'm hoping to get all the leather finished next time. Then it's just the shield and the base. Oh, and finishing those two feathers on his axe handle, but that won't take long.

Hagal: Metal, Leather

Finished up the metals on Hagal and base coated all those leather straps. He's moving along very quickly. I've got to finish the leather, the base, and his shield. Might get it done this week.

Hagal: Cloth, Metal

Did highlights in Hagal's hair, then did his loincloth and some other cloth, and got a base coat on most of the metal. He's coming along well enough.

Hagal: Skin, Face, Hair

As expected, I worked on Hagal tonight while I'm thinking about the harp. I shaded and highlighted his skin, did the facial details, and base coated his hair. I think he's going to go quick, but mostly because the figure is so rough I'm not doing a lot of perfecting. 

Thrall: Body finished

I finished the skin and detailing on the main body of the thrall. Now I have to do the harp, and I might need to think a bit about the materials it's made of before choosing and placing colors.

Thrall: More Skin

 Shaded the skin of the upper body of the thrall today. It needs highlights, then dealing with the wounds. 

Thrall: Skin, Loincloth

Got highlights on his legs and highlighted and shaded the loincloth, and was able to get him attached to the base. I'm happy with my progress. Might regret making the base so saturated.

Infernal Entrapturess: Thrall skin, loincloth

 Would have liked to get a bit farther with this today, but it is what it is. I got a base coat on their loincloth and shading on the skin. I need to highlight the skin, maybe mess with the shading a bit more, then shade and highlight the loincloth. Then they can get attached to the base and I can finish them.

Infernal Enrapturess: Base, Thrall

I'm more enthused by the Infernal Enrapturess, so I'm working on that more than Hagal. Yesterday I worked on the base; today I gloss sealed it, and then got a base coat on the skin for the thrall. I need to complete the lower half of them, then I'm going to attach them to the base and finish the rest. The purpose of that is to avoid the risk of getting paint on the base when I work on their legs.

Hagal: Skin Base

Base coated Hagal's skin. Also worked on the base for the Enrapturess, but it's covered in not yet dry putty, so no pictures today. Tomorrow, maybe.

Next Projects

 With Gjallr done, here's what's on tap next. First is Hagal, the last of the 5 characters I need for this faction in Arena Rex. 

And this guy is one half of the Infernal Enrapturess figure from GW. It's in the Slaanesh faction. This one I'm going to have to do in phases. First phase is the base. Then this dude. Then the Enrapturess herself. Why that order? It's because of the way the figure gets put together. He goes on the base, and since she's playing the 'harp' her figure sort of wraps around this guy.

4!

 Finished Gallr!

Gjallr: Straps, Axe

So I was able to do the shading and highlighting on Gjallr's leather straps, get the axe attached (I'd been painting it along side the main figure), and get a base coat on his shield (not pictured). I need to finish the shield and attach it, do the base, and that's it! One or two more nights, I think, and he'll be done. 

Gjallr: Fur, Straps

Finished up the fur and base coated the assorted leather straps. I'm hoping that I can finish the straps and get his axe arm glued on next time, but that might be a little optimistic. There's a lot of straps and they have a lot of edges to deal with. Also, there's a couple of buckles and studs on a belt that I missed when I was doing metals, so I'll have to go back and do those. That part won't take long, though.

Gjallr: Metal, Fur

Shaded and highlighted the metal, and then base coated the fur. Well, and the shoes. They aren't fur but I've decided to use the same dark brown for them. He's coming along pretty quickly; if I keep at it I might get him finished this week.
